improve the throughput of the Trans-Caspian International Transport
Route (TITR), Representative of the Committee for Transport of the
Ministry of Development and Trade of the Republic of Kazakhstan
Kasym Tlepov said, Trend reports citing the country's Ministry of
Industry and Infrastructure Development.

diversify transit and export opportunities. The route leads to
Europe running through Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Türkiye.
